I did have the pa she was extremely nice

Definitely always recommend Dr Bruggeman for arms and now will recommend Dr Bonness for shoulders! My kids are competitive athletes and bumps go hand and hand with them playing sports.

Every time that I was taken to a room I waited a very short time
5 stars
Felt very confident with the staff there
5 stars
It was a first time follow-up visit to a Dr after a ER visit for an injury occurring from a fall. No expectations were really expected at that time. However Dr Bonness could be certain that further examination was needed due to lingering symptoms still evident.

Really easy to schedule my appointment, I didn't get a link to do my paperwork early or maybe I missed it.
